Jira Instance Maintenance & Cleanliness Rules

To ensure our Jira instance remains organized and efficient, please follow these guidelines:

1. Scheme Management

• Separate Schemes:
  All schemes (Issue Type, Priority, Workflow, Screen, Field Configuration) should be created separately for each project.
• One Scheme per Project:
  Only one scheme should be associated with each project.

2. Project Creation

• Project Naming:
  The project name should clearly relate to your business work or function.

3. Scheme Naming Conventions

Use the following nomenclature when creating schemes for your project:

Issue Type Scheme

• Always create a separate scheme for your project.
• Format:
  Project Key-Issue Type Scheme

Priorities Scheme

• Always create a separate scheme for your project.
• Format:
  Project Key-Priority Scheme

Workflow Scheme

• Always create a separate scheme for your project.
• Formats:
  • Project Key-AllIssueTypes-Workflow (For All Issue Types)
  • Project Key-Bug-Workflow (For Individual Issue Types)
  • Project Key-Workflow Scheme

Screen Scheme

• Always create a separate scheme for your project.
• Formats:
  • Project Key-Bug-CreateScreen (For separate screens)
  • Project Key-Bug-EditScreen
  • Project Key-Bug-ViewScreen
  • Project Key-Bug-Screen Scheme
  • Project Key-Issue Type Screen Scheme

Field Configuration

• Always create a separate scheme for your project.

Note:
Following these rules will help maintain a clean, scalable, and manageable Jira environment. Please ensure compliance with these guidelines for every new project and scheme creation.
